I run a school computer lab and am configuring several new computers running 98 on an NT network. I want to set up the printers, map drives etc. before I actually log onto the network becasue I have the workstations tightly locked down with system policies. The problem is, once I configure set up networking and try to access the server it wants a password for the IPC$ share. I'm the network administrator, and I don't remember ever setting a password for this share. How can I get to the shareto reset the password?

This is a common problem when accessing,
NT/2000 boxes from 95 or 98.

In case its a work group environment, u have to create a login id on the server & login with the same id on the 98 boxes ( u also can login as administrator in case securityis not an issue).

Good luck

I know that before I set up system policies I could access the server, printers, etc. w/o logging in. I would still be able to do it if I knew the password for the IPC$ share. That's what I can't figure out.

You still have to log into The 98 computer with a user ID that exists on the NT server that hosts the share.
